Some signs that something is biased include:
1. **One-sided information**: If the information only presents one side of an issue and ignores other viewpoints.
2. **Emotional language**: If the language used is overly emotional or dramatic, it might be trying to sway feelings rather than present facts.
3. **Lack of evidence**: If claims are made without solid proof or reliable sources to back them up.
4. **Generalizations**: If statements are too broad and make unfair assumptions about a group of people or things.
5. **Ignoring important facts**: If key details that could change the understanding of the issue are left out.
6. **Misleading comparisons**: If comparisons are made in a way that skews the truth or gives a false impression.
These signs suggest that the information may not be objective and could be pushing a specific agenda.
